Dazbo A (potential) new bagpiper (16) RE: A (potential) new bagpiper 13 Sep 11


Well it looks like I'm closing in on a choice. I'm impressed with what I've read and heard about Jon Swayne's pipes so I'm teetering a student set from him.

However, choices raise their ugly heads!!! would you recommend one or two drones? Two drones are more expensive and I presume uses air faster but sounds better than one. Would it be easier to sell on a set with two drones or one? Is it worth the extra for the second drone as a beginner?

What are the pros and cons of bellows? On the down side they add cost on the upside put dry air into the bag and are more hygenic. I think I would prefer mouth blown but what other advantages would bellows give?

Please keep the tips, suggestions and advice etc coming.

Thanks
